[quote=NotSoAnonymous]Q:  Do you worry about living in a state that is sometimes hostile to your rights? Ever consider moving for that reason, or are the practical things like school more important?

A: Absolutely, which is why I believe it should be dealt with on the federal level.   We did and have considered moving, but like many of our peers, are underwater in our home. Not badly, but enough to lose our 20k downpayment. We can't afford to move, do like our neighborhood, commute, friends etc. I don't feel like I should have to move to get equal rights in this country.

Because our families are so accepting, and the legal groundwork we have laid - including extensive and expensive documentation of our intent to have and raise our family together- living wills, consent forms, guardianship forms, etc - I feel pretty ok most days. As the government in VA has started to overreach the more I feel scared. I do not think the state could make a case against my parenthood but I am no lawyer. The only thing that will give me that is second parent adoption. The biggest threat to my kids and my relationship would be divorce- so I have incentive to be a great wife and mom. [/quote]
